Fans of Bermuda's ghosts and goblins will soon have another book to settle into following the debut of Bermuda's Favourite Haunts Volume II `Picking Up the Threads'.

This book which follows Bermuda's Favourite Haunts is a collection of "chatty accounts of Bermuda's early beginnings and some seemingly mindless echoes from the past,'' written by Ghost Writers John Cox, Mac Musson and Joan Skinner.

The authors state that "so well received was our first book and so many requests have been made for its spirited companion that we can only say thank you.'' The book which will be available during the early part of November will cost $24.95 per book pre-sale price, which will retail at $29.95. The book is a linen hardback with the reproduction of a painting by another well-known artist.

The illustrations, as before, will be black and white pen and ink sketches by Mac Musson.

Also offered are 100 limited editions, signed and numbered. These are available for $75 a piece.
